Quality Control

Our 5-[(2-Methylphenoxy)Methyl]-2-Furaldehyde is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR). We provide full traceability and a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring it meets the stringent requirements of research and process development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
